Ingredients

Scale

Taco Shells

  • 6 crispy taco shells

Filling

  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 240 ml whipped cream
  • 60 g chopped walnuts, pecans, or peanuts

Sauces and Garnishes

  • 120 ml caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
  • Chocolate sauce (optional)
  • Crushed cookies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Warm Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 175°C (347°F). Arrange the taco shells on a baking tray and warm them for 3 to 4 minutes until they are crisp and heated through.
  2. Layer Bananas: Take the warmed taco shells and fill each one evenly with sliced ripe bananas, ensuring a good base for the toppings.
  3. Add Whipped Cream: Generously pipe or spoon the whipped cream over the banana slices in each taco shell, creating a light and fluffy layer.
  4. Top with Nuts and Caramel: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts, pecans, or peanuts over the whipped cream, then finish with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce to add a rich sweetness.
  5. Add Optional Garnishes: For extra indulgence, drizzle chocolate sauce and sprinkle crushed cookies on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent them from becoming mushy when served.
  • Chopping nuts finely will make it easier to eat the tacos without large chunks.
  • For a vegan version, substitute whipped cream with coconut whipped cream and use vegan caramel sauce.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to keep taco shells crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Feel free to customize with different nuts or toppings like shredded coconut or fresh berries.
